Someone who founded PayPal, built a car company and sends rockets into space becoming a trillionaire isn’t weird. Public servants making $174k becoming millionaires is. Change my mind.

Elon is not the problem… There are 193 countries in the world and 177 of them receive US taxpayer money from Congress. 177 of 193. Thats 91.7% of the world. Its not Congress’s money. Its your money, my money, our kid’s money etc. Americans are being screwed. Not by Elon…

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money. Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

I’m a Republican. Someone becoming a trillionaire doesn’t ruin my day — it doesn’t even register. I’m not interested in envying or attacking wealth. I take responsibility for my own path, celebrate my successes, learn from my failures, and I’m damn proud of the life I’ve built.

In the 1970’s there was an inter generational conflict, “Don’t trust anyone over 30years old”. Popularized by Tim Leary, we later discovered Leary was a CIA property spreading their meme as a way to cause social chaos. Unfortunately Young people today have bought into the same scam with the “boomer” meme. Easy scapegoating spread by CIA trolls.

Again, if I have to show my ID to buy Sudafed, you have to show your ID to vote. Stop it.

You borrow money, you have to pay it back based on the terms and conditions of the loan. I paid my $120k in student loan payments in les than 10 years post graduate school. It’s called being a grown up.

People should be responsible for their own college debt. They dont seem to have a problem taking out loans for a car that they really probably can't afford. Or have credit card debt they can't afford. They can afford their own college debit.

Simplifying the process to repay the loans. Fixed it for you.

Sounds like the students borrowed money they couldn’t afford to pay back. Not the taxpayers problem.

It’s the ‘losing my paid off house to auction bidders because I fell behind on my property taxes’ issue. Why should county/state have the right to literally take my house & put it up for auction cuz I couldn’t pay my property taxes, which aren’t even close to the house value!!

If you're working fully remote, you should be taking a 20% pay cut. You aren't commuting, you aren't buying lunch, and half of you are doing laundry on company time anyway. Let's be real.

Let me say it loud for the retards in the back who keep rewriting history: President Trump was advised to lock the country down for two weeks to slow the curve. He listened. Republican-led states reopened and got back to work. Democrat-led states stayed shut down for over a year. Trump repeatedly pleaded with those blue-state governors to reopen their economies. They refused. Their goal was clear: tank the Trump economy so they could blame him for the damage. Millions lost jobs and livelihoods because of it. Democrat governors chose to send sick COVID patients into nursing homes — a decision that killed thousands of our elderly. That was their choice, not Trump’s. They lectured him: “Don’t tell me how to run my state, Trump! Don’t overstep your authority!” While encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors for not following the rules. Operation Warp Speed happened under President Trump. The vaccines were developed a few years prior. Democrats originally scoffed: “I’m not taking a Trump vaccine.” Then Biden and Democrats stole the election, forced vaccine mandates, and suddenly, it was “safe and effective” — take it or lose your job. Blue states cheered and reopened. Don’t twist the history. Those of us who lived through 2020-2024 remember exactly what happened.

Shouldn't you have already fixed the lead pipe problems? Like, wasn't there a bunch of federal money shoveled that way to fix that problem?

Kevin O’Leary’s comments about young people making sandwiches instead of ordering out are going viral, and honestly, a lot of what I’m seeing on social media about it annoys the hell out of me First off, it is hard to be a young adult right now. Inflation is brutal. Housing is expensive and in short supply. Groceries, gas, insurance, and energy costs are hitting everyone hard. Starting out today is not easy, and pretending otherwise is disconnected from reality. But what I completely reject is this growing narrative that boomers somehow “stole” prosperity from younger generations or should now give up what they worked for. My parents are boomers. They started their marriage with almost nothing. They lived in a depressing basement apartment in downtown Lexington before moving into a tiny rental house. My dad worked his way up at Pepsi-Cola over a 30-year career, starting in the warehouse and eventually becoming controller of the company. My parents didn’t buy their first home until I was in fifth grade, and even then it was a very modest ranch house. We ate at home almost every night. Going out to eat was rare. There were no Amazon packages showing up daily, no DoorDash, no expensive vacations, no constant lifestyle spending. A lot of people today act like previous generations all bought mansions at 23 while working part-time jobs, and that simply isn’t reality for most families. That doesn’t mean young people should just “stop complaining.” There are real economic problems we need to address. I help my own kids financially because I know how difficult things are. But I also expect them to spend responsibly, avoid wasting money, and work toward independence. No one is owed an easy life. Most people struggle at some point. I’ve worked three jobs at once as a single mom just to survive. It wasn’t fun, and I don’t wish that on my kids, but struggle is sometimes part of building a better future. Blaming “boomers” for everything won’t fix housing shortages or lower grocery prices. Spending all day online complaining won’t either. If people want change, get involved. Push for housing reform. Support policies that increase supply, competition, energy affordability, and economic opportunity. Build something. Contribute to your community. Fight for solutions instead of resentment. Quit whining. No one “owes” you anything.

I do find it fascinating that there is an entire generation of people that are physically incapable of self-adjusting when prices are high. Like bro, if a Chipotle burrito is $17 just stop buying the fucking burrito every day.

What did she learn in her university? Obviously, it wasn't math.

How much taxpayer money is in the “slush fund” used by Congress to settle “complaints and sexual harassment charges’ against elected Federal officials?
